When I first saw the topic for the contest, I knew that I definitely would have something to write on it. Choosing the topic that says a memorable September, I have had many Septembers and would have more to come, but one September stood out for me because the surrounding circumstances made it a memorable one.

Before I had my wedding in the year 2020, my hubby and I decided to have a baby before the wedding, we tried all sort of things and even visited a gynecologist , who ran a series of tests, all through the half of 2019, nothing showed forth and 2020 was fast approaching, but no pregnancy was forthcoming, and so I took it off my mind and went on to plan my wedding.

We didn't do much as it was the covid period and everyone was on lockdown, we decided on having a registry and a family traditional wedding as we couldn't travel to my village as the custom was. We had to plan the wedding in a quiet mood and the registry only consisted of my parents and two of my husbands friends as the court didn't want many people because of the spread of the covid disease.

We had the registry on August 13th to be precise, and the traditional wedding came up on the 22nd of that very month. All the while, I had taken the thoughts of having a baby out of my mind and just concentrated on having a well-planned wedding.

Thank God all came to a success, even though the rain threatened a bit, but it all came to fulfillment. I went back to my husband's house as a full wife and I went about my day. My in-laws were around for a few days after the wedding, and so I was so busy attending to them, and finally, they left when the month of August ended.
I started my life as a new married woman, I tended to my home as a newly married woman, that same period our landlord's daughter also had her wedding and at the time when I was trying to help them out in the preparation the night before the wedding, I noticed I had a swollen vein and I couldn't lift even a small bucket, I had to just manage myself and help out for that day, which was the 25th of September, two days after my landlord's daughter wedding, I felt very sick, I was unable to do anything and my husband wasn't always chanced to help out, my mum had to come pick me up and from there we went to the hospital, there it was confirmed after a test was done that I was pregnant.

This was something that I had been expecting since the year 2019, but it only came to fulfillment in the month of September in the year 2020, even though I was sick when I found out, the joy in me knew no bounds as I immediately called my husband and told him the good news.

This is a memorable day in my September that I can never forget and it is also my favourite september.

Isang Setyembre na Dapat Tandaan

Kumusta, mahal na komunidad ng Hive Philippines. Ito ay isang kahanga-hanga, mainit na hapon. Nadatnan ko ang patimpalak na ito mula sa aking pakikipag-ugnayan kaninang umaga at na-tag ko ang ilang mga kaibigan @jessicaossom @merit.ahama @moclassic @glorydee @moremoney28 @wallay Sana ay makasali din sila sa patimpalak na ito.

Dinisenyo sa canva

Noong una kong nakita ang paksa para sa paligsahan, alam kong tiyak na may isusulat ako dito. Sa pagpili ng paksang nagsasabing isang di-malilimutang Setyembre, marami na akong Setyembre at marami pa akong darating, ngunit isang Setyembre ang namumukod-tangi para sa akin dahil ang mga nakapaligid na pangyayari ay naging di-malilimutang isa.
Bago ako magpakasal sa taong 2020, napagpasyahan namin ng aking asawa na magkaroon ng isang sanggol bago ang kasal, sinubukan namin ang lahat ng paumanhin sa mga bagay at kahit na bumisita sa isang gynecologist, na nagpatakbo ng isang serye ng mga pagsubok, sa buong kalahati ng 2019, wala nagpakita at malapit na ang 2020, ngunit walang pagbubuntis, kaya inalis ko ito sa isip ko at nagpatuloy sa pagpaplano ng aking kasal.

Wala kaming masyadong ginawa dahil panahon ng covid at lahat ay naka-lockdown, napagpasyahan namin na magkaroon ng rehistro at tradisyonal na kasal ng pamilya dahil hindi kami makakapaglakbay sa aking nayon gaya ng nakaugalian. We had to plan the wedding in a quiet mood and the registry only consists of my parents and two of my husbands friends as the court want to many people because of the spread of the covid disease.
Nagkaroon kami ng pagpapatala noong Agosto 13 upang maging tumpak, at ang tradisyonal na kasal ay lumabas noong ika-22 ng buwang iyon. All the while, inalis ko sa isip ko ang pagkakaroon ng baby at nag-concentrate na lang sa pagkakaroon ng well-planned wedding.

Thank God all came to a success, kahit medyo nagbabanta ang ulan, pero natupad lahat. Bumalik ako sa bahay ng aking asawa bilang isang buong asawa at ginawa ko ang aking araw. Ang aking mga biyenan ay nasa loob ng ilang araw pagkatapos ng kasal, at kaya ako ay naging abala sa pag-asikaso sa kanila, at sa wakas, sila ay umalis nang matapos ang buwan ng Agosto.

Sinimulan ko ang aking buhay bilang isang bagong kasal, inaalagaan ko ang aking tahanan bilang isang bagong kasal na babae, sa parehong panahon na ang anak na babae ng aming kasero ay nagkaroon din ng kanyang kasal at sa oras na sinusubukan kong tulungan sila sa paghahanda noong gabi bago ang kasal, napansin kong namamaga ang ugat ko at hindi ko kayang buhatin kahit isang maliit na balde, kailangan ko na lang ayusin ang sarili ko at tumulong para sa araw na iyon, ika-25 ng Setyembre, dalawang araw pagkatapos ng kasal ng aking may-ari, naramdaman ko napakasakit, wala akong magawa at ang aking asawa ay hindi palaging pagkakataon na tumulong, kailangan akong sunduin ng aking ina at mula doon ay nagpunta kami sa ospital, doon ay nakumpirma pagkatapos ng isang pagsubok na ginawa na ako ay buntis.
Ito ay isang bagay na inaasahan ko mula noong taong 2019, ngunit ito ay natupad lamang sa buwan ng Setyembre sa taong 2020, kahit na ako ay may sakit noong nalaman ko, ang kagalakan sa akin ay walang hangganan na agad akong tumawag. ang aking asawa at sinabi sa kanya ang mabuting balita.

Ito ay isang memorable na araw sa aking Setyembre na hinding-hindi ko makakalimutan at ito rin ang paborito kong september.
Salamat sa Pagbabasa, ito ang aking entry sa paligsahan ng Hive PH, maaari mong mahanap ang post ng paligsahan dito

Wow! This indeed a September to remember, It gladdens me that you finally had a child, maybe the time you were looking for a baby wasn't a God appointed time, but you can see that when it was time, you didn't even struggle but the child came.

There is this joy you feel when you finally get to experience what you have always wanted. The news of a pregnancy is one that would bring happiness to you and your family.

Okay. Call me confused.

I would have sworn you were part of the Nigerian crowd. Your picture looks more African and Filipino but you posted in English and Tagalog. Are you Filipina? Are you Nigerian who speaks Filipino? Or is this Google translate magic?

Regardless thanks for writing :)

Hehe I am a Nigerian I google translated. I guess I forgot to add that in my post.
I wanted to do something different since it was a general community. So they could better understand.
Thanks for stopping by
